The family room was set up in a cozy way, with all the couches in place like a theater. The family ate with everyone, including the very diligent servants of the manor, for this surprise. Everyone carried smiles and waves of laughter were heard all across the mansion.
There was plenty of food for everyone, yet their hearts felt already full.
For the past twelve years at this time of year, everyone had exhausted every ounce of energy to make it as perfect as Nina herself.

Everyone found a comfortable spot; chefs doing a quick party in the kitchen for more popcorn, and some brought extra blankets to cozy up while enjoying the film.
They felt like they were one big family.

Penny's eyes softened as a comforting warmth embraced her heart, body, and soul. It was nearly lulling her to sleep.
As she watched the movie unfolding before them, a gentle smile formed on her face.
'Back then, I watched this movie with the inmates,' she thought, thinking of how many times she watched this movie because, in prison, they only had a limited selection. 'Upside down... I think my world is starting to turn upside down as well.
The reason Penny liked the film was because she could relate to it. It was almost like a story of her life - a tale of freedom, kindness, and self-love. It depicted the things one would sacrifice just to get loved without realizing how devastating and destructive it was. And just like her, the protagonist ended up in prison for a crime she didn't commit as her last attempt to save the people she loved.
'I still wish... this is just all a dream, 'Penny thought with a peaceful smile. 'Because if it isn't... I'm scared I'll just regret it in the end." a
When Penny woke up as an infant, she told herself one thing: she might miss her family, but she would never go back to them.
Today, it felt like she was breaking that promise, and it frightened her.
In the back of her mind, she wanted this to be a dream because if it was just a dream, it wouldn't
